A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.

Many of the old British Colonies have their own special version of english.

They get pretty funky, like in British Africa. But if you listen closely, you can hear that they do indeed speak english. It's just heavily diluted.

You’re probably right since the maritimes had a lot of history to establish their own characters.
